Not for you, chemicalpower.

You are attempting to manufacture Acetic Anhydride to supply to criminals in your country (Pakistan) to process opium into heroin (or morphine from opium into heroin). You said as much yourself in a PM to me.

As this is not amateur science, I will not help you with your illegal activity.

chemicalpowerII - 31-8-2007 at 03:34

Dear Sir,
I am not trying to help any criminals or supplying anything. i dont think making cellulose acetate is a crime. meanwhile if you feel like not sharing your findings its ok but you should not put things up on the main forum that you are not clear about and maybe they can create a lot of problems for others.
take care

Sauron - 31-8-2007 at 04:00

Liar.

Cellulose acetate was the Iranian's story. You TOLD me what you are up to, and I told you to get the hell away from me. You failed to do so. Take the consequences.

The Iranian (hector) at least made up a cover story, even though having to make cellulose acetate to manufacture glue was never a really plausible notion. It was sufficient to give him the benefit of the doubt. For a while anyway.

Your story (mostly expressed in PMs) was that you are not a chemist but in debt to a loan shark and the shark will let you pay him off in Ac2O, if you can make a lot of it fast.

You never in all those months said one word about cellulose acetate.

Ac2O is tightly controlled in your country due to the burgeoning south Asian heroin traffic, which NATO forces are fighting in Afghanistan next door to you trying to suppress.

If you WERE (arguendo) making cellulose acetate you could just buy acetic anhydride or acetyl chloride, or that matter, cellulose acetate, itself a cheap commodity.

Finally you had the audacity to mention heoin in a PM to me, in context of a color test you subjected your product to, you said the heoin turned black.

GET LOST!

I am posting this so you cannot misrepresent yourself to others as you did to me, wasting my time.

Mr sauron i promise to god that i didnt make heroin
i forget our glue and anhydrid (we were bankrupt)
now i have small game net in tehran
thanks god every thing is ok
God keep you

Nice to hear from you, @hector.

No one said you made heroin.

Just that the cellulose acetate thing did not appear to make economic sense.

Best wishes with your new business.

Other catalysts suggested include phosphoric acid, sulfonic acids like p-toluenesulfonic acid (the example they give is benzenesulfonic acid), etc. as I know you have a problem with sulfuric acid.

This would be very cheap and easy. No acetyl chloride needed. No PdCl2 needed. You should try this. No sodium acetate needed. So no more 3 day drying oven.

Don't thank me, thank @S.C.Wack who pointed these out in another thread.

Hmm
Interesting Method
No Result?

Sauron - 26-11-2007 at 03:41

Well, I now have a jug of VA monomer (syabilized) sitting under my desk but, my "client" at that time, has evaporated and says he is out of the acetate glue business in Iran. So I have not yet followed up on this. The fellow in Pakistan who tried it got nowhere but, events demonstrated that his skills were meager. So, inconclusive.

Hardly matters since there are other and more reliable proven methods. No need to chase an acient patent is there?

Fleaker - 26-11-2007 at 09:28

I'd be interested in hearing the results. The acetone pyrolysis method I have tried, and it could probably make several liters per day, however it is dangerous. To me, ketene+700C tube furnace+any air leak == explosion.

Eclectic - 26-11-2007 at 11:08

Well yes, but if you can't manage preventing an air leak in your apparatus, you have no business doing this kind of organic chemistry and working with flammable solvents anyway.

Sauron - 26-11-2007 at 11:28

My argument against this is ketene's toxicity. Want to deal with something phosgene-like at elevated temps? Not me.

jimmyboy - 26-11-2007 at 12:16

I have no clue why you don't just synth benzoyl chloride - chlorinate some benzaldehyde.. done.. and it won't kill you if you get a noseful

http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=7447

According to NERV, I apparently can't do this. I didn't tighten the flanges down properly when we made the reaction tube. Definitely was a fire coming out of the acetone input end of the tube!

Personally, I think it is much more viable a method than the ketene lamp.

Eclectic - 26-11-2007 at 13:13

You could start with acetylene, acetic acid, and H2SO4/Hg catalyst.

It would be essentially the same process, and you wouldn't need to get vinyl acetate.

Compassion Please!

No, he's all right. He's Iranian. The one I was referring to was a Paki.

I'm just not very interested in this vinyl acetate process any more. There are tried and true ways to make acetyl chloride. Anyway Hector buys his acetyl chloride in 200 L drums from Merck for $6 a liter, and that is a lot cheaper than I can make it from TCT or benzoyl chloride.

MagicJigPipe - 27-11-2007 at 11:45

Damn, I have a feeling THAT, of all things, would raise a red flag.

Sauron - 27-11-2007 at 20:06

Why?

The fellow explained why he was in need of Ac2) in a qty of 50 L/day - acetylation of cellulose. He was reacting acetyl chloride with sodium acetate. He was having technical problems and seeking a cheaper less troublesome method to produce 50 L acetic anhydride a day. Now, that is how this thread got started.

I reckon, if he was up to no good, he would not be pinching pennies.

Ac2O cannot be purchased legally in his country. For reasons that ought to be obvious.

In THIS country, neither Ac2O nor acetyl chloride can be purchased without special permits, hard to obtain. So I am rather jealous of $6 a liter AcCl. (Merck, for synthesis.)

A tube heater for the laboratory is probably best made by oneself. New tube furnaces are generally very expensive.
I am in the process of doing this, expect a documentation when I'm done.
Basically, you wind heating wire around a ceramic tube, coat it with insulation paste (a simple MgO+Al2O3 mix), surround the thing with thermal insulation, and put it in a housing. Add an electronic thermometer with its thermocouple inside the tube and a thyristor circuit for regulating the heating power.
Use a quartz (or even stainless steel, for ketene) tube inside the ceramic tube as the working tube in which the cracking of acetone will occur.

Sauron - 28-11-2007 at 04:36

I'm sorry, it's just that amorous, in English, usually implies strong feelings of love (sometimes even a sexual connotation) and that is why I was laughing.

There are much safer ways to do so.

Copper tubing works well for making ketene from acetone, copper does not catalyse the decomposition of ketene.

I posted a PDF that is a chem. eng. project to make acetic anhydride from acetone and acetic acid. It discusses some of the concerns in making an efficient convertion, the best way to absorbe the ketene, and other things you need to deal with when doing this in a large scale lab or pilot plant setting.

Contact time, temperature, and temperature distribution are all important to a successful process. The low the conversion in a pass the higher the overall yield, with recycling of unreacted acetone. Quick quenching of the gases is also important, that study above discusses this.

Also see :

Ketene Production and Utilization Experimental Study
Morey, Ind. Eng. Chem., 31, No. 9: September 1939 1129-1132
DOI: 10.1021/ie50357a016

including information on the reaction tube they used.

JIC here's that project, seeing as it's a small file.

(?)If we use of copper tube again we will have DUST of carbon(in the tube)?
(?)What temp require if we use of copper tube (700 or more?)
(!)I want to buy one tube heater(from lenton company) but it is very expensive(3000$)do you know cheaper source?
Thanks

not_important - 30-11-2007 at 00:23

In the Ind Eng Chem article they used temperatures in the range of 580-650 C or so. While 700 C is often used, you need good regulation and heat distribution to avoid overheating the gases.

HOWEVER - there is no turnkey solution, you can't read some papers and expect something like a DIY kit. Experimentation will be needed to optimise your plant, and maybe even to get it to given a useful output at first. Things like formation of carbon are going to depend on a number of factors, if I was good predicting what will happen in your case I'd retired off of the stock market and betting winnings long ago.

I'm not into buying pilot plant scale equipment right now, I expect that making your own might be the cheapest given your circumstances.\

While this is the acetic acid to acetic anhydride route, which while it goer through ketene is a bit different, this recent study for an industrial plant may prove useful:

http://www.lassc.ulg.ac.be/bibli/heyen-2003-1.pdf

Fleaker - 30-11-2007 at 09:57

Having actually done this before (you saw the pictures which NERV and I took), I can say copper would be suitable. A 40cm or so long by 2.5cm inner diameter stainless tube packed with copper wool (to increase contact time) was what we used and we operated at 700*C. Yield was ~33% or something around there. There was zero carbon dust formation whatsoever, it was very clean.

If you have a big 20L flask and are boiling a lot of acetone, this method would work well, it would make a lot of Ac2O. It is still necessary to fraction your Ac2O from your acetic acid. Also, you might remember the round bottom flask on the output (ketene) end of the tube? It would be really smart to have it setup so any acetone that condenses in the condensers and collects in the flask would be rerouted into the boiling flask on the input side.

Sauron, what leads you to assert that ketene is a carcinogen? I ask because you've raised this concern in a couple of previous posts, but my casual perusal of Google, etc., have all lead to documents claiming that ketene is in fact not suspected to be a carcinogen (although it is known to be toxic, of course--see here, for example).

My question is not meant to be impertinent or a challenge; I'm simply interested to learn what additional insight you have into ketene's carcinogenicity.

not_important - 1-12-2007 at 21:03

When I made my ketene generator I got some carbon at first, this appeared to be from too slow of a flow through the tube. Higher flow rates had no carbon formation when run for several days at a time.

The highest yields come with fairly low conversion of acetone, the overall yield is based on recycling the acetone. The conditions that give lower per-pass conversion also suppress side reactions.

And here, thanks to solo, is the research paper, for those without reference section access. While their target is butyl acetate and not acetic anhydride, the ketene production is the same.

Note that they used two absorption towers, plus a bubbler filled with aniline in benzene. The project on anhydride production recommends holding the acetic acid/ketene reaction towers at 80 C.

No. It can't be made simpler, unless your goal is to make 50 ml of anhydride. For large scale production the apparatus will be more complex, at least if you want any sort of decent yield.

You need to read the apparatus section in the PDF, between that and the drawing I found it very clear. You also need to reread Project00.1.pdf as well.

Your tube in the furnace is too large in diameter. Both of those documents make it clear that quick and complete heating must be do, which a simple large diameter tube will not do. Both documents also make it clear that the gases exiting the furnace must be quickly cooled. the newer document does this using a water spray on the outside of the tube while the anhydride plant does this using a spray of acetic acid, acetic anhydride, and acetone.

Ketene does not react extremely quickly with neutral and mildly acidic compounds, thorough contact must be had for sufficient time. A single simple absorber will likely have much unreacted ketene escaping it, resulting in both low yields and the problem of lots of free ketene drifting about.

Expect only 10 to 20 percent of the acetone fed through the furnace to be converted to ketene, so your condensing receiver must be nearly as large as the boiler.

You'll also need to worry about oxidation of the outside of the copper tubing in the furnace; the more recent reference solved this by driving the copper tube through a stainless steel pipe forming a jacket for the copper.

Fashist - 2-12-2007 at 01:33

Valuable advise.thanks
My tube in the furnace is too large because my pressure increased(my acetone boiler is 10lit then more acetone will come.)what size is suitable for this system?

not_important - 2-12-2007 at 10:07

You only have to cover the copper tube that is in the furnace. The items needed to do so were a steel pipe, some hydrochloric acid, and a hammer.

Your proposed system with a 10 liter boiler is five times as large as the example large scale lab production unit in "Ketene Production and Utilization..." This should tell you some time - if you wish to make a proof-of-concept apparatus, don't make it so large and you can make it a bit simpler, if you want large scale production then it will be more complicated.

As an example, a simple proof of concept setup would not attempt a high volume of acetone boil-off. It could have a large boiler as a convenience to allow it to run for many hours without stopping to refill, just use a fairly low boil rate. But if you want to make a lot of anhydride per hour you will need multiple tubes with manifolds at each end of the oven to distribute and collect the gases.

Very quick cooling of the exit gases to 200 C or lower is needed to keep yields up. In "Ketene Production..." this was done by spraying water on the exit side of the copper tube, note that they still had the acetone condenser a bit further on. In the "Project00" example this was to be done by very quickly quenching the hot gases in the absorption tower with cool liquid containing acetone that would vapourise.

On a small scale a simple absorption method is OK, provided you have a good train of scrubbers to catch the unused ketene. Low yields, possibly high backpressures. On a large scale you need proper absorption towers designed for low backpressures while providing good contact between liquid and gas.

On a large scale you are going to need to address the flammable non-condensible gases exiting the absorption section.

Very true, but if you had read the thread you would have seen that it was discussed early on, and is not suitable for the application in question. Too small of a production rate, the filament requires frequent cleaning, and the apparatus is fragile.

Things like the tube length a somewhat dependent on flow rate and heat transfer. Too long of a time at the high temperatures leads to excessive breakdown of the ketene.

I'd start with that "Ketene Production..." model for the tube, go ahead and use your boiler. Carefully control the heat input to the boiler, do several test runs at a given boil-up rate and tube temperature, figure out anhydride yield and acetone boil-up rate which will give you the approximate flow velocity through the tube. Repeat with a bit higher heat input to the boiler, and repeat again until the yield drops off or excessive amount of acetone distill (remember than maybe 20% will be converted and likely less).

And put a real effective absorption train after the anhydride absorber, you must keep ketene from getting out.

Once you've done that you knw the basic parameters for your tube furnace. You can then build a larger oven and run multiple tubes through it, with manafolds at each end so a single boiler can feed them and their output is collected for feeding to the absorption unit for making anhydride.

You will likely need to refine the absorption/quenching section to optimise yields. This section will resemble a fractionating column, as that gives good contact between gas and liquid.

Outside of that I've already given you all the advice I have - it's in those PDFs and test books that cover the processes used.

No, a manifold is a pipe with multiple connection to other pipes, for the purpose of distributing to those other pipes or collecting from them. Often the manifold is larger than the feeder pipe, because it handles a larger flow.

So one largish pipe from the boiling has a number of small tube connected to it. The smaller tubes are in some sort of an array, their bodies in parallel and adjacent but separated a bit. Their other ends all connect to a second manifold that combines the flows and takes it to the quencher. The second, hot side, manifold would likely be smaller than the boiler side one, because you want to minimise the time the gases remain hot, and thus want high flow rates.

Read the Project00 file - for larger scale production you don't want to condense the acetone out first, but instead quench the hot gases with a liquid make of acetic acid, acetic anhydride, and acetone. Acetone condensation and recovery is done after that stage.

As I said several posts ago, my Farsi is limited to being able to ask directions for places to get food. It will not suffice in translating the material in this thread.

you say true but you should accept that your two patent is very professional and this is difficult to underestant fast and complete.
your suggestion is very interesting for me.
according to your suggestion I realized this image

KETENE http://www.orgsyn.org/orgsyn/prep.asp?prep=cv1p0330

The apparatus (above link) is not a ketene lamp.

It is a glass combustion tube filled with broken porcelain, and fourteen of the twenty burners of the combustion furnace are lighted (Note 4) and tiles are placed over the lighted burners, which finally must be adjusted to yield a maximum temperature. The first two and last four burners are unused.

Ketene can be generated conveniently by pyrolysis of acetone in a hot tube or over a hot wire in a "ketene lamp," or by pyrolysis of diketene in a hot tube, or by pyrolysis of acetic anhydride. Other methods of preparation have been summarized. It has been shown that diketene cracks quite cleanly to ketene , although some allene and carbon dioxide are formed at the same time.

The most convenient procedures for the preparation of ketene are the present one and the pyrolyses of acetone or acetic ahnydride. The acetone procedure gives ketene at a relatively fast rate (0.45 mole per hour), but it takes considerable adjustment to get optimum conditions, and trouble is sometimes caused by the wire getting coated with carbon. Furthermore, because the efficiency of a given wire coil varies with time, passing through a maximum, frequent calibration of the apparatus is necessary. The acetic anhydride method is even faster (1.31 moles per hour) and uses a readily available chemical. It appears to be the method of choice at this time. The diketene procedure described here is relatively simple and reliable; however, it is relatively slow (0.2 mole per hour) and requires a somewhat less readily available starting material.

No idea For My Design?

MagicJigPipe - 3-12-2007 at 14:52

From what I can tell (nothing is labeled) it seems like your design is very similar to the one on orgsyn. What's your reasoning for using 3 combustion tubes? Did I miss something upthread or was this your idea?

I suppose it would increase your surface area in the furnace which would be beneficial if your flow rate was high enough. Whether or not this would be better than a single large tube is beyond me. Seems like it could be though.

I thought I would take a stab at his question since no one else was.

Fashist - 4-12-2007 at 00:25

Mr MajicJigPipe Thanks of your Idea
I send Another picture before.the description of this Picture is similar to that Picture(oldest)
Acording to Mr not important advise i increase surface(for better yield)
the DISTANCE between condenser and exit tube is smaller.
But there is one problem:
I have problem with steel cover for copper tube.(may this work is impossible for copper tube)i should find another cover.
I am still waiting for your idea.
thx

not_important - 4-12-2007 at 01:51

OK, problems with your design

The single tube from the boiler needs to be larger, it should have at least half the cross-sectional area as the sum of the cross-section areas of the heated tubes. Same applies to the single tube collecting the gases from the heated tubes.

Using tall cylinders for absorbing ketene the way you've drawn it will not work well, "Ketene Production..." tells you why right on the 1st page and also gives a better working alternative; I've said this before.

Why is pounding copper pipe through the center of steel pipe impossible? Can you not find steel pipe with an inside diameter very close to the outside diameter of the copper?

--------------------------------------------------

Sorry, WizardX , OrgSyn was offline when I clicked the link and I assumed it was the ketene lamp one. The fragility and desired production rate arguments still hold; the OS example does less that a quarter liter of acetone an hour, while the target is at least five times that.

For scaled up production several heated tubes are needed because using one large tube results in poor heat control.

The chapter on ketenes in Organic Reactions vol 3 has a table of literature reports on making ketene, and I've read other such surveys. In general tubes with packing give lower conversions than plain tubes, there is one report (Rice, Greenberg, Waters, and Vollrath, J. Am. Chem. Soc, 56, 1760 (1934)) of good yields with a packed tube. Rather open packing with high thermal conductivity appears to work as well as plain heated tubes, it has been used with larger diameter tubing but is much more difficult to cobble together ones self.

From the first page of "Ketene Production and Utilization Experimental Study"

Quote:

It was found, for instance, that when the ketene-containing gases (freed from most of the acetone) were passed into water through a sintered glass bubbler, considerable ketene escaped absorption. This was even the case when two such bubblers were used in series. The sintered glass disks were an inch in diameter and furnished a very fine spray of bubbles. Aside from the inefficiency of this type of absorption apparatus, additional objection was found in its great resistance to gas flow; the rate at which acetone could be put through the pyrolysis chamber was thus decreased.

They were using bubblers similar to the attached image. The combination of the flow resistance of the fritted glass and
the weight of the liquid in a tall container will cause a lot of back pressure, increasing the likelyhood of actone and ketene leaking out of joints in the apparatus.

This is why they and other larger scale production examples use absorption towers resembling fractionating columns for distillatiom, in the ketene plant project the quencher/absorber is a fractionating column, with acetone and the non-condensible gases leaving as vapour.

Fashist - 4-12-2007 at 07:57

Thanks Mr not important
You say Complete True
I Think the absorption towers use for industrial scale(not 5-10lit anhydrid per day!)
your Point about "the weight of the liquid in a tall container " is true but I think this is
OBVIOUS for above 10 lit container.(my cylinders is 2lit)
The absorption tower is very UNINTELLIGIBLE and very Expensive for making.
i saw someplace that german army in wwii used of similar system(without absorption tower.like my system but ketene react with acetic in SQUARE container not CYLINDER)
Wat is your suggestion (replace for tall container?ballon?..)
May you explain this bubblers more?i think there is variant type of bubbler for buy here.
I think if you explain the complete(with detail.like my picture) system for making 5-10lit anhydrid then my question will end(i know you are tired of my question)

If you think a proper absorption tower is expensive, try pricing what's needed for for that process; 5 to 20 times atmospheric pressure, 150 to 200 C, an acidic environment containing carbon monoxide and iodides. Where are you going to get the high purity carbon monoxide needed? That's an entire plant in itself. If you think an absorption tower is "unintelligible" wait until you see what a carbonylation process is like. And then there is catalyst recovery to deal with.

This is what I believe is the most recent significant version of the general process
http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/5900504-description.html

Processes used in war time generally are not too concerned with being economical, focusing on using readily available feedstock and being quick to construct.

To overcome backpressure you need to increase the pressure on the side feeding into the absorption hardware, that is the boiler and hot tube section. It doesn't matter if you generate the pressure by injecting an inert gas or by running the boiler a little hotter. What's important is that leaks become a bigger problem.

For someone who says it is "impossible" for them to drive one pipe through the inside of another, you sure are unconcerned about putting together a system that runs under pressure, even the relatively low pressure to overcome absorber resistance.

------------------------

The goal is to make 5-10 liters anhydride per day.

The systems with the highest overall yield run at low per-pass conversion rates, 5 to 20 percent of the acetone reaction in a pass, the rest is recirculated. Higher conversion rates result in the formation of products besides ketene, reducing the
overall yield and creating more byproducts.

10 percent conversion per pass means 50 - 100 liters equivalent of acetone,
20 percent is still 25 to 50 liters of acetone boiled off.

With recycling of the acetone the amount used is much less, but you still boil enough to be equivalent to much more acetone without recycling.

Many of the example setups boil off a quarter liter or so per hour, some I've seen can do a liter an hour. The stated goal is roughly 25 to 100 times greater than that of the lab benchtop models.

Unless you're making acetaldehyde from cheap, non-taxed ethanol, it won't be economical. Acetaldehyde has problems of its own (i.e. vapour pressure, toxicity). Might as well buy Ac2O ready made.

JohnWW - 6-12-2007 at 14:01

"Might as well buy Ac2O ready made. "? But the whole reason for this thread is that, in many countries, Ac2O CANNOT be "bought ready made", or at least not without bring oneself to the attention of the Pigs, because of its being a very useful reagent not only for general acetylations (most often to protect reactive -OH and other groups during other reactions), but also in drug synthesis, e.g. making heroin by acetylation of other opioids.

I am frankly sick of the Pigs telling us what drugs we can and cannot take, and scaring parliaments and congresses by means of lies (supposedly backed up by so-called "experts" who are in fact in the pay of alcohol and tobacco interests, who probably also bribe the Pigs) into passing laws to this effect. If drugs were legal, it would completely destroy the lucrative black-market for them, and thereby make them less easily obtainable, not more easily obtainable.

not_important - 6-12-2007 at 23:24

The oxidation of acetaldehyde by air or oxygen using a Mn or Cu-Co catalyst takes place at moderate temperatures and pressures, distinctly lower than the carbonylation process. It does produce and decompose peracetic acid, unless considerable care is take interesting explosions can result. The plant requirements are more demanding that the ketene methods.

And as already said, it takes cheap acetaldehyde to be practical, and acetaldyhde is difficult to ship and work with.

If all you want is a liter a day, then a single tube ketene generator will work, the absorption issue still exists.

Quote:

I've no idea what you meant by that. If you think you'll find a better acetic anhydride production method, you're not going to find it floating about here. There's been considerable talk on it, there's several threads full of it, including the digging Sauron did here. If there were a simpler good method it's doubtful it would have gone unused industrially; most of the information has been given to you.

Actually the 5 separate systems will have the same degree of complexity with the exception of the manifolds. The absorption step remains the same, both for efficiency (cost) and safety issues. Acetic anhydride was not the typical target of laboratory ketene generators, it is for industrial applications so those are the people you need to look to for information. And they all used packed towers or tall empty towers for their combined quench-absorption step.

Mostly ignored in this discussion is what purification of the acetic anhydride will be needed. In the industrial style continuous version you get three product stream - an acetone one to send back to the boilers, an acetic acid rich one containing acetic anhydride and acetone to send to the quench-absorption unit, and the acetic anhydride product stream. In a small batch system you propose you have to distill the condensed acetone, add the still bottoms to the acetic product, distill that to get the acetone rich cut, the acetic acid rich cut, and the acetic anhydride cut. Two distince operations, one with three steps.

The overall effort to operate will be greater, because you have 5 boilers, tube furnaces, and absorption systems to watch.

Fleaker - 11-12-2007 at 09:53

We added ice because a lot ketene and was escaping out of the second wash bottle tower filled with water. We could tell this by the smell. When we added ice to the GAA-filled ''absorber'' there was no ketene out the second water-filled absorber. I can only presume that decreased temperature of GAA lead to more ketene solubility or at least a longer residence time in the GAA. But it also means a slower reaction with the GAA so there is probably a point of diminishing returns. I can not say at what scale it is advantageous to cool or to heat your glacial acetic acid, but for us, we found that the least amount of ketene escaped the system when it was cooled.

Edit: It should be noticed that the Acetic acid never got above 30*C; we did NOT try it hot. I suppose we could have heated our absorption vessel with heating tape and tried it that way. It will probably be better to do it that way.

You can calculate the heat of reaction between ketene and acetic acid, standard textbook chemistry; the heat of formation of ketene given before 1980 or so is not correct.

There are other things besides a reaction being exothermic or endothermic that affect how it goes.

The pilot plant document runs the absorption at about 80 C for several reasons; this was done to get best performance. Cooling the acetic acid with ice won't prevent the reaction from taking place. It may have some effect on the performance of the system, but on a small scale benchtop system that is not out to optimise performance that difference might be unimportant to the operators of the equipment.

Remember the motto of Perl....

It's generally advisable not to ascribe hostile motivations for what can readily be explained by benign factors.

In this case, the links you posted are for patents that are all over 40 years old. Thus the reason why the abstracts and scanned images are unavailable to you has nothing to do with the fact that you are in Iran--rather, they are unavailable to everyone, because they have simply never been scanned or typed into the EPO system. Patents of that vintage generally only have their titles, issue dates and registration numbers available in the public EPO database.

Thanks

not_important - 23-12-2007 at 07:57

It's a clever idea, but it has a major flaw -

remember that at the most you'll only convert about 20% of the acetone per pass through the hot tube. You can increase the amount of acetone decomposed to higher percentages, but then increasing amounts of the ketene formed decompose - mostly to carbon monoxide and ethylene but also to small amounts of other stuff that will contaminate the acetic anhydride formed later. In general the experimenters that got the highest overall yields had relatively small conversions per pass, maybe 10%, and recycled the unconverted acetone.

In your latest idea at least 3/4 of the acetone boiled off is going to be condensing in the upper section. It then runs back towards the hot tube section, at first boiling before it reaches it through its cooling of the reaction gases. But there will be an increasing amount of acetone up there, running down and cooling down the upper section of the hot tube. Remember that the acetone doesn't start decomposing until it reaches 500 C or so, so much of the refluxing acetone is just going to be gargling away in the region between the hot tube and condenser, until there's so much that it overwhelms the heated section.

What is your intended production rate per day?

Fashist - 23-12-2007 at 09:19

Mr not important thanks.
You Say Complete True.acetone will not convert to ketene.
But you should accept that in the vogel book(ketene lamp) this is difficult to build U tube for acetone recycle.because the DEPTH of U tube is DEPENDENT to pressure of acetone(boiling rate and amount),This is problem.
i am building one horizontal system.(one 10 lit flask,1m copper tube,1 meter copper condenser,..) i want to run it and write the diffirent result(i will test it with aniline)
but i believe the horizontal isnt good system(we must use 10 lit acetone for have 1lit anhydrid or less)i think the vertical system hasnt this problem but vertical system has U tube problem.what is your suggestion?

not_important - 29-12-2007 at 04:36

If you don't have an acetone return, then you must run the system until you've boiled most of the acetone off, cool it down, add back the condensed acetone plus makeup, bring the boiler up to heat, bring the furnace up to heat, and then start processing the ketene stream. This adds to the amount of time it takes to make a given amount of product.

I've repeatedly suggested you use an absorption tower as in the PDFs. When run as done in the project PDF, the exist gases from the top of the tower are acetone vapour and acetone/ketene decomposition products - methane, ethylene, carbon monoxide.

With a return path for the acetone you could get away with a 2 liter boiler, continuously add makeup acetone to the return stream, and still make as much or more ketene per day as with the open ended large boiler.

Yes, a passive return system will take enough height for the weight of acetone in it to counter the pressure difference between the boiler and condenser. That's the laws of nature, not easy to get around them. Condensing the acetone gives the liquid acetone for recycling at some height above the base of the tower, and likely above the boiler. With that arrangement it's fairly simple to design the system so the acetone return functions properly.
